Whether you’re recognising outstanding performance, celebrating milestones, supporting employee wellbeing, driving sales incentives or planning your Christmas rewards programme, choosing a reward that employees genuinely value can make all the difference.

In today’s workplace, where teams may be based onsite, remotely or in hybrid environments, businesses need reward solutions that are flexible, meaningful and easy to deliver.

Tesco Corporate Gift Cards provide a simple yet highly effective way to show appreciation while giving recipients the freedom to choose what matters most to them.

Accepted in over 184 Tesco stores across Ireland, Tesco Gift Cards can be used across groceries, F&F clothing, homeware, toys, beauty products and Tesco Mobile.

This broad range of spending options means every recipient can benefit in a way that suits their individual needs and lifestyle. Whether it’s helping with the weekly shop, updating a wardrobe through F&F, treating themselves to Tesco Finest products or purchasing gifts for family and friends, the value of the reward extends far beyond the moment it is received.

For employers, flexibility is a key advantage. Tesco Corporate Gift Cards are available in both physical and digital formats, making them ideal for businesses of all sizes. Digital cards can be delivered instantly, while physical cards offer a choice of attractive designs for occasions including employee recognition, seasonal rewards, long-service awards, customer incentives and workplace celebrations. With new card designs in Gaeilge and a new Tesco Mobile Gift Card, there are plenty of gifting choices.

Gift cards are particularly popular during the festive season, providing a practical and appreciated alternative to traditional corporate gifts. Businesses can choose the value of each card to suit their budget, ensuring rewards remain impactful while maintaining cost control.

There are also significant financial benefits to consider. Under Ireland’s Small Benefit Exemption Scheme, employers may be able to provide qualifying employees with up to €1,500 in non-cash rewards each year without creating an income tax liability, making gift cards an attractive and tax-efficient reward option.

The benefits don’t stop there for recipients. When shopping with a Tesco Gift Card, customers can still enjoy Clubcard Prices, collect Clubcard points and take advantage of Aldi Price Match and Everyday Low Prices, helping them maximise the value of their reward.

With nationwide coverage, flexible delivery options, digital convenience and rewards that employees truly appreciate, Tesco Corporate Gift Cards offer a smart solution for organisations looking to recognise, reward and motivate their people.

Whether you’re planning Christmas rewards, employee recognition or customer incentives, Tesco Corporate Gift Cards make rewarding easy. Get started today at www.tescoforbusiness.ie or call 01 215 2526.
